first we have to find the slope Y2-Y1/ X2- X1
7-(-1)=8
5-(-4)=9 slope= 8/9
Poin slope form ------- Y-Y =M(X-X)
Y+7= 8/9 (X+5) or
Y-1= 8/9 (X-4)
Hello!
Explanation:
Slope-intercept form: → [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
m: represents the slope and is constant.
b: represents the y-intercept.
Rise/run
[tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7-(-1)=7+1=8}{5-(-4)=5+4=9}=\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
8/9 is the final answer.
Hope this helps!
